Black Glass
Dark synthpop with clipped half-time drums and female vocals, verse rides sparse sub pulses and tense piano-pluck stabs; pre-chorus opens with rising noise and stacked whispers; chorus hits with wide saw chords, octave bass, and hook doubles. Breathy close-mic lead, whispered ad-libs, gang echoes on the title, reverse swells into each drop, sidechained shimmer, bright punchy mix with a glossy edge., female vocals

Lyrics
Verse 1
I keep the key in my fist
Cold metal, red on my wrist
Your name like a crack in the wall
I hear it when shadows call
The floorboards know where I been
They creak like they want me in
I step where the black glass fell
And nothing feels safe to tell
Pre-Chorus
One more step
Then I fall
Hold my breath
Hear it call
Chorus
Black glass, black glass
Cut so clean
Black glass, black glass
In between
Pull me down
Pull me close
Black glass, black glass
You know
Verse 2
I wore the night like a veil
Ran my fingers over the rail
Saw my face in a broken pane
Same soft smile, same hard pain
You say my heart’s too cold
But yours keeps the things unsold
I leave with a spark in my throat
And a knot where the good years broke
Pre-Chorus
One more step
Then I fall
Hold my breath
Hear it call
Chorus
Black glass, black glass
Cut so clean
Black glass, black glass
In between
Pull me down
Pull me close
Black glass, black glass
You know
Bridge
If I burn, let it show
If I leave, let me go
I was made for the edge
Not the pretty promise ledge
Final Chorus
Black glass, black glass
Cut so clean
Black glass, black glass
In between
Pull me down
Pull me close
Black glass, black glass
You know
Black glass, black glass
I won’t fold
